Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Pain Under The Arms

I have been having a cough for 8 weeks now. Dry and not very productive. Phlegm is white and thin. I have pain under my right underarm extending from the lateral side to my right chest wall. Most often when i breathe in, cough or move. It is bordering on getting past bearable even with taking pain relief. I m wondering what could be the cause of this as i havent injured (bumped into anything). I am able to do most things recently although i got tired quite easily however since the pain under my arm started, i could barely sleep.
